Lyrics:
In the wake of his chariot
You swam toward the latitudes
Leaving for happier times
Florida far behind
Trying your best you were
Ignoring the rescuers
You’d gone so very long
You were so very strong
The scene was so tragic
But that was the magic
Will you never drown?
Will you learn to use
Some forgotten part?
Some forgotten part?
Are you going down
Where the ballyhoos
And the tritons are? (x2)
You were so incredible
Finding all the edible
Prize of the sea
Prize of the sea
In the wake of his chariot
You swam toward the latitudes
Leaving for happier times
Florida far behind
In division pelagic
You were choragic
Will you never drown?
Will you learn to use
Some forgotten part?
Some forgotten part?
Are you going down
Where the ballyhoos
And the tritons are? (x3)
Quotes:
[Question]: Is "The Swimmer" based on actual events or made up?
Frank Black: Actual events of course. The stuff is real man!
